==History==
During the Indian independence movement, Kanaiyalal Maneklal Munshi advocated for ''Akhand Hindustan'', a proposition that [[Biography:Mahatma Gandhi|Mahatma Gandhi]] agreed with, believing that as Britain wanted to retain their empire by pursuing a policy of [[Philosophy:Divide and rule|divide and rule]], Hindu–Muslim unity could not be achieved as long as the British were there."<ref name="Ghose1991">{{cite book|last=Ghose|first=Sankar|title=Mahatma Gandhi|date=1 January 1991|publisher=Allied Publishers|isbn=9788170232056|page=315|quote=Later, K.M. Munishi, with Gandhi's blessing, also resigned from the Congress to plead for Akhand Hindustan as a counter blast to Pakistan. Gandhi, who previously thought that swaraj was impossible without Hindu-Muslim unity, subsequently came to the conclusion that as Britain wanted to retain her empire by pursuing a policy of divide and rule, Hindu-Muslim unity could not be achieved as long as the British were there.}}</ref> In addition, Mazhar Ali Khan wrote that "the Khan brothers [were] determined to fight for Akhand Hindustan, and challenged the League to fight the issue out before the electorate of the Province."<ref name="KhanKhan1996">{{cite book|last=Khan|first=Mazhar Ali|title=Pakistan: The First Twelve Years|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=B_BtAAAAMAAJ|year=1996|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=9780195776768|quote=Many months ago, when the Pakistan issue was still in the melting pot, the Khan brothers determined to fight for Akhand Hindustan, and challenged the League to fight the issue out before the electorate of the Province.|access-date=14 August 2015|archive-date=30 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160430214605/https://books.google.com/books?id=B_BtAAAAMAAJ|url-status=live}}</ref> On 7–8 October 1944, in Delhi, Radha Kumud Mukherjee presided over the Akhand Hindustan Leaders' Conference.<ref name="Sharma2008">{{cite book|last=Sharma|first=Jai Narain|title=Encyclopaedia Eminent Thinkers|date=1 January 2008|publisher=Concept Publishing Company|isbn=9788180694929|page=88|quote=On 5 August 1944, he issued a common letter to the leaders of various parties making a proposal to hold Akhand Hindustan Leaders' Conference.

The Indian activist and Hindu Mahasabha leader Vinayak Damodar Savarkar at the Hindu Mahasabha's 19th Annual Session in Ahmedabad in 1937 propounded the notion of an ''Akhand Bharat'' that "must remain one and indivisible" "from Kashmir to Rameswaram, from Sindh to Assam." He said that "all citizens who owe undivided loyalty and allegiance to the Indian nation and to the Indian state shall be treated with perfect equality and shall share duties and obligations equally in common, irrespective of caste, creed or religion, and the representation also shall either be on the basis of one man one vote or in proportion to the population in case of separate electorates and public services shall go by merit alone."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://theprint.in/opinion/savarkar-wanted-one-god-one-nation-one-goal-modi-has-fulfilled-his-dream-with-kashmir-move/273447/|title=Savarkar Wanted One God, One Nation, One Goal|last=Sampath|first=Vikram|date=7 August 2019|website=The Print India|access-date=8 August 2019|archive-date=8 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190808024435/https://theprint.in/opinion/savarkar-wanted-one-god-one-nation-one-goal-modi-has-fulfilled-his-dream-with-kashmir-move/273447/|url-status=live}}</ref>
